As my world crumbles all around me   I search for answers lying within   What a fool I've been to not have seen   What once was mine, the love she gave.      And so I bare the pain of an unwanted life   The birth of mind broken down in pieces   This infliction of my misery   My body lives but my heart and soul I've cheated.      Never again will I know such love   Such emotion only once could I find   Now in detachment, I'm drifting away   Execution for my blindness but I've been granted a stay.      I can't carry on this self-injustice   Time feels so ripped and torn   Dreams, all my everything   Tears, closer to the end of mourn.      Age is upon me, I live and learn   There's a light out there at every turn   What a fool I've been to not have seen   What is mine, the love she gives.      [Lyrics by Victor Griffin - Music by Griffin, Abney, & Tomaselli - 2002]
